We have a 2008 dodge avenger. This time we were driving and the car lost power. The battery is not dead and it is not the alternater according to the service center we had it towed to. When you turn the key over there is a clicking noise and tried to turn over and sputtered for a few seconds, now nothing. The service center said it wasn't the fuel filter but thought it had to do with the alarm system. Said it thought the car was being stolen and shut off. The dealer says they think it is the fuel filter. What is it?

Locate your spare key / 2nd key and try to start the car.


There is a transponder chip in the key and a reader inside the key lock area.

When the signal does not match then the security will lock down the car.


You should use your 2nd key and clean the key pathway before starting the car.


A professinal locksmith will able to re-program you ECU.

2008 dodge avenger radio unlock code because i installed an after market stereo and my battery is dead by morning last thing i know to do

Have you connected the aftermarket unit properly? If you have hooked the main power up to a permanent live power in the car it will continuously draw power. Only the memory wire (yellow) should be connected to a constant power, the main power should be from an ACC switched power. If the radio has been installed correctly there will be no power loss while the ignition is off.

if the PCM lost its programming because the battery was excessivly drained then the car will need to be releaned. You may feel issues but generally they clear up after awhile. Having a dead battlery should not of damaged anything.

Battery changing

Ok, trust me on this one, take the drivers side tire off and remove the forward inner fender panel. If you try it without removing the tire, it is just a royal pain.
